Great place for a hike. The Cardigan \\u0026 Firescrew loop was a fun, moderate hike. If leaving from the AMC Lodge, I definitely recommend doing the loop counterclockwise. The views on the ledges and from the top are lovely, especially since the climb isn't that long. Nice view of Newfound Lake. Bring bug spray.

Steep, microspikes helped with packed snow. So much ice at the tower, so I had to stop not worth the risk with a dog, but still was able to see the beautiful views. Road to the hike is closed and parking in minimal so be aware.

Nice walking trails rewarded by a great view at the top. Parking is confusing and not well maintained
